Highlight Patrick Bailey ties the game!

Seriously, this dude is on fire! (Why are we supposed to not like him again?)

Bailey is trash. A couple decent games won’t change the fact he’s a .220 lifetime hitter. And hit .146 for us before we dumped him to Cleveland. If it wasn’t for his glove, he’d be bagging groceries.

Also a lot of his value that he did have came from pitch framing, which was very useful until ABS started and is increasingly removing that source of value

That value is still there a batter can’t just challenge every pitch. Framing is still very much a thing and Bailey is still one of the best.

I think he stole something like 50 strikes in the first month of the season that went unchallenged. It's insane.
